Calling all industry members – we want your input as members of our Performance Assurance Working Group (PAWG). The PAWG is one of several working groups set up by Elexon to deliver the technical overview of the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) scope.

The Summer BSC Season begins on 1 June 2023 and if you are using the Elexon Kinnect Customer Solution, the deadline for submitting your Generation and Demand Capacity (GC/DC) values for the Season is 16 May 2023.

Elexon implemented Balancing and Settlement Code Modification P419 ‘Enhanced Reporting of Demand Data to the NETSO to facilitate BSUoS Reform’ in February 2023.

P419 introduced a process to allow Non-Final Demand Operators and Suppliers to declare Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) Non-Final Demand Facilities through BSC processes so that they would be exempt from Balancing Services Use of System (BSUoS) Charges.

This is of interest to all Suppliers with Non Half Hourly portfolios

At its meeting on 27 April 2023, the Performance Assurance Board (PAB) approved the deployment of EFR for Settlement Risk 008; the risk that Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) metered data is not processed or transferred correctly, or is not processed at all.

The following datasets will no longer be published on the following Elexon BSC Portal pages from Thursday 4 May 2023. This is due to the internal migration of our Settlement Administration Agent (SAA) system. However, replacement pages have been created to enable you to access the datasets.

The draft Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement Programme (MHHSP) Approach and Plan states that participants will be allocated to Qualification tranches in May 2024. The Code Bodies want your feedback on the allocation timeline and approach by Tuesday 2 May 2023.

Following our request for customer feedback at the most recent Upcoming BSC Change Proposals meeting on 23 March, the Potential BSC Changes awaiting initial consideration dashboard has been upgraded,

As part of the 23 February 2023 Balancing and Settlement Code release, two Modifications (P376 and P419) will be implemented using our Customer Solution, one of the three pillars of Elexon Kinnect, our cloud platform.

We will publish guidance documents for companies that want to participate in the P376 and P419 reforms later this month.

The Balancing and Settlement Code Panel has agreed to Elexon’s recommendation to raise a Modification to remove our obligation to provide Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service (BMRS) data through the High Grade communications line service. 

As part of our  Elexon Kinnect programme we have been building a new Settlement Solution which replaces services of the Settlement Administration Agent (SAA) on our new cloud platform.

There was an issue with Elexon BSC Portal publishing email alerts. This has now been fixed but after fixing this, the BSC Portal sent email alerts for backfilled data.

These email alerts are not for current system events and can be ignored.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

The Credit Assessment Load Factor (CALF) values for the Summer 2023 BSC Season, which runs from 1 June 2023 to 31 August 2023, are available from the BSC Portal. If you are the Lead Party of a non-Credit Qualifying BMU, you can appeal an assigned CALF value if you believe it does not accurately represent your expected activity.

Elexon is inviting industry participants to register their interest in joining the Network Gas Supply Emergency Settlement Validation Committee (NGSESVC). Please note that there is no immediate requirement for this committee.

We implemented Change Proposal (CP) 1527 ‘Increase the minimum data storage capacity for Settlement Outstations and mandate specific selectable integration periods for Metering Codes of Practice’ on 30 June 2022, as part of the June 2022 BSC Release.

CP1527 incremented the Issue (and version) numbers of the below CoPs, by one.
